LSU has not gone 3-2 to start a season since 2004, but it will happen this year as a young defense struggles early as will new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in his first college gig in more than a decade.

Cameron and quarterback Zach Mettenberger will eventually mesh like Mike Shanahan and John Elway. But as Shanahan struggled with Denver head coach Dan Reeves while Shanahan was Denver's offensive coordinator, Cameron finds the going a little frustrating as old friend Les Miles tries to keep his hands in the offense a little too much.
